Siheyuan: I live next door to Xu Damao, my last name is Cao

They first came to the door of Yi Zhonghai's house. Xu Damao took a deep breath, which seemed to carry all his courage, and walked forward and knocked gently on the door.

Yi Zhonghai opened the door and saw that it was the two of them. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes for a moment. His gaze looked back and forth at the two of them like a scanner, trying to see through their thoughts.

Then Yi Zhonghai asked: "What's the matter with you two coming together?"

Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, "Why did these two enemies get together? It must be bad news. Are these two guys up to something again?"

Xu Damao's face was all smiles, and that smile looked extremely sincere, and his eyes revealed an enthusiasm that was hard to refuse, but behind that sincerity there was an imperceptible cunning.

"Uncle, we are here to ask you for a favor. You have great prestige in the courtyard, like a pillar that stabilizes the sea. We have been quarreling for years, with a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. Now we want to reconcile completely, and we would like you to be a witness for us."

Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly, and looked at them more sharply. The doubts in his heart grew like a snowball: "You two? Reconcile? Haven't you always been incompatible? Just like cat and mouse, you fight as soon as you meet. Why do you suddenly have this idea? There must be something fishy here. Don't try to fool me."

Sha Zhu continued, "Uncle, we have really figured it out. The hatred over the years is like a mess, disturbing the whole yard and making everyone suffer with us. We don't want to go on like this anymore. We want the yard to return to its former peace."

Sha Zhu thought: "Xu Damao seems to be sincere this time. With an old man as a witness, nothing should go wrong. In the future, the courtyard will be more peaceful and everyone can live a good life."

Yi Zhonghai was wondering, why did these two people suddenly change their personalities? This was not like their style.

But he still said, "Have you really thought it through? This is not a trivial matter. We can't just talk about it. This reconciliation is not a child's play. It must be sincere."

At this time, Yi Zhonghai was thinking in his heart: "If I can successfully mediate this matter, my prestige in the courtyard will be restored a lot, and maybe I can even consolidate my position in the courtyard. In the future, everyone will listen to me more. This is a good opportunity for me to turn things around."

Xu Damao nodded quickly: "Uncle, we have thought it through. We will never have conflicts again. We hope you can come to witness it, so that everyone in the hospital knows that we are serious. We really want to let go of the past and start over."

Yi Zhonghai was silent for a while, as if he was making a major decision, and then he said: "Well, since you have this intention, I will bear witness to this for you. I hope you are sincere and don't let me down."

Then, the two came to Liu Haizhong's house.

Liu Haizhong was concentrating on tinkering with something in the yard. When he heard footsteps, he looked up and saw that it was them. He stopped what he was doing, frowned, and asked, "What are you two doing here?"

Liu Hai was thinking, "These two guys are getting together, there must be something bad going on. Are they trying to plot against me? It's hard to guess what these two guys are thinking."

Xu Damao stepped forward and said, "Second Uncle, you are a well-known figure in the courtyard, like a mountain in the courtyard, and you are respected. Sha Zhu and I have decided to put aside our past grievances and get along well. I would like to ask you to be a witness for us."

Liu Haizhong's eyes widened, as if he had seen a fairy tale: "You two? Can you let go of your grudges? The hatred between you two was not small, and it was an irreconcilable posture. I don't believe you can reconcile so easily. Don't be kidding me."

Liu Haizhong thought to himself, "Are these two guys trying to use me? But if I can play a role in this matter, my prestige in the hospital will also be improved. In this way, even if Yi Zhonghai does something weird again, he won't be able to cause any trouble, and I will have more say in the hospital."

Sha Zhu snorted, "Second Uncle, we are sincere. We were confused before and blinded by hatred. Now we don't want to fight anymore. We want the courtyard to be full of harmony, not chaos all day long."

Liu Haizhong looked at them, his eyes still full of suspicion: "You don't have any other purpose, do you? You suddenly said this, I don't believe it."

Xu Damao waved his hand quickly: "Second Uncle, we have no other purpose. We just want to reconcile and live a peaceful life in the future. I hope you can be a witness and make a decision for us."

Liu Haizhong thought for a moment and said, "Okay, since you said so, I'll believe you this time. But if you dare to play tricks on me, don't blame me for being rude."

Finally, they arrived at Yan Bugui's house. Yan Bugui opened the door and saw them. He looked puzzled and asked, "What are you two doing?"

Sha Zhu said, "Uncle, we are planning to reconcile, and we would like you to be a witness."

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "You two can reconcile? This is really rare, just like a flower blooming on a iron tree. But it's a good thing, I agree."

Yan Bugui was delighted: "Hey, these two guys have reconciled, so we must celebrate. Maybe I can have a good meal, and I can also show off my image as a peacemaker in the courtyard. This is really killing two birds with one stone. This kind of good thing can't be missed."

After gathering the three of them together, Sha Zhu cleared his throat, and his voice was particularly loud in the quiet environment: "Three uncles, you are all respected elders in the courtyard, just like the three pillars of the courtyard. We would like to ask you to hold a general meeting of the whole courtyard and bring everyone in the courtyard to bear witness for us. From now on, Xu Damao and I will no longer bear grudges, so that there will be fewer disputes in the courtyard and everyone can live in harmony."

Liu Haizhong frowned, feeling very unhappy. He didn't expect that Xu Damao and Sha Zhu would actually call Yi Zhonghai as well. This would make things difficult.

He thought to himself, "Come to think of it, Sha Zhu has such a good relationship with Yi Zhonghai. Now that Xu Damao and Sha Zhu are reconciling, he will definitely interfere. Humph, we can't let him succeed."

Therefore, Liu Haizhong wanted to suppress Yi Zhonghai, so he said: "There are not three uncles here, aren't there two uncles in charge of the hospital? Right, Old Yan, wasn't Yi Zhonghai dismissed by the comrades in the police station last time?"

Yan Bugui hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. He felt a little conflicted, as if there were two little people fighting each other.

On the one hand, he didn't want to offend Liu Haizhong. After all, Liu Haizhong was one of the big bosses in charge, and there was no benefit in offending him.

On the other hand, he didn't want to offend Yi Zhonghai too much. After all, Yi Zhonghai still had some influence in the courtyard. If he completely pissed him off, it would be difficult for him to get along with others in the courtyard in the future.

But at this moment, he wanted to see the excitement of the fight between the two people. Maybe he could find more opportunities that would be beneficial to him, such as highlighting his importance in the chaos.
